PRODUCT RATING: OUTSTANDING

RATING EXPLAINED: This is an outstanding product with outstanding results.

If there is anyone out there who has problems getting their children to pick up after themselves, or each other. Or maybe you have problems with getting them to behave and follow the rules of the house. Then this is the product for you. In a matter of days it will have your child behaving and cleaning. After a week you will be asking your sweet little helper 'who are you and what have you done with my child.' At least I did. This Program is solidly based on spiritual and scriptural help. It uses the Happy Face Token method for rewarding good behavior. Children earn Happy Faces by doing anything that is good, praiseworthy, virtuous, loving, kind, honorable, honest as well as others. They also learn the consequences of bad behavior. The child can lose all or a select number of tokens for undesirable behavior, such as throwing a tantrum, back talking, rudeness, lying, are some. There is also the ultimate reward for the kids, of being able to trade their tokens in for something on the reward list. My 6-year-old daughter can be lazy at times, ok most of the time, but getting her to do her chores was like trying to pull teeth. After just one week of implementing this program she is a different person. She even picks up after her father. The results are amazing. This product actually works. It is very simple and easy to use. The author has even included charts and reproducibles in the book. All you need is a few minutes of planning time, a copier and you are on your way to a happier, healthier home. I would recommend this product to anyone with children. It is definitely a ‘must have’. This is my sole opinion of the product ‘From Combat Zone to... Love at Home’ by Debbie Preece. The author herself says it best with this quote. ‘This is NOT A MISSION IMPOSSIBLE. This is a unique, simple, inspired “battle plan” geared for the happiness and well being of mom. This step by step survival kit is set up with built in success that can last as long as the children are in the home. The children will be so happy with this inspired program that they won’t let it end. Soon, you will be known by your children as “THE BEST MOM IN THE WHOLE WORLD” and they will be contributing happily and cheerfully to the most wonderful family in the world.’

Do you ever get tired? Do you ever get sick and tired of no cooperation, no one getting along, and feeling like the world will end before anyone ever lends a hand with normal household duties, that all members of the family should contribute to? I am sure you answered no to this, and that I am the minority when I answer YES!!!!!!!! ... However, if you happen to have answered yes, like I did ... then this program is a MUST SEE!

With From Combat Zone To Love At Home, the weight is off of your shoulders, because the program sets the rules of the game in place. So you, as the mom, just follow the rules set out for you, just like the kids do and the game works smoothly! I call it a game here, because smaller kids will work best with it as a game, but actually it is a comprehensive family program, wherein all members of the family, no matter what the age, will participate and thereby make home life run more smoothly and make moms burden a little less, well, burdensome!

This program uses the happy face token system, which makes a lot of fun for the kids. Older kids will grin and bear it, because they like reward systems too, they just have to grumble a bit in the beginning, when it also means commitment on their end... They will come up to the plate though, don't give up, if they protest at first.
